The clinical trials demonstrated that the TUNA Procedure can be
performed without the need for general or regional (spinal)
anesthesia; however, sedation is often used. Treatment with the
TUNA Procedure is associated with few side effects and adverse
events. The following table (Table 5-1) summarizes the safety
data of patients from the original TUNA Therapy versus TURP
study (lateral lobe only) and that from the two additional studies
(P01 and PM1) that included treatment of patients having a
degree of median lobe hyperplasia.
